How it works
Simple, deliberate, and the same for every size of piece.
1. Send your inquiryTwo minutes for small pieces, a few more for large projects. References welcome — bring your idea, your flash, or just the concept.

3. Private invitationIf your project is a fit, you receive a private booking invitation. Any consultation or deposit terms are stated clearly there — before any payment is taken.
4. Consultation & bookingDesign review and an exact quote in person. Your deposit locks your date, and the work gets done once — correctly.
About Jonny
The artist behind the work.
Internationally traveled and trained — a New York City native raised in the melting pot of global culture. Growing up surrounded by that much diversity — the daily mix of the metropolis that is New York City — gave me a genuine curiosity for different world perspectives. Traveling across the globe was inevitable.
When you sit in my chair, you get an artist who has studied how the whole world makes its mark, with over two decades in this industry — knowing exactly how to transform nature's canvas at the highest standard it can be executed.
All of it done with respect for the craft: an art embedded in human history since the beginning of mankind, marking the body to express the essence of the soul.
Questions, answered straight
So there's nothing left to guess.
Can I get a price over the phone?
No — deliberately. Size, placement, and detail change the price, and guessing helps no one. You get an exact quote in person, after your design is reviewed. For accuracy, tattoos are not priced or booked over the phone.
Why an inquiry first, instead of just booking?
So your project is reviewed by Jonny before anyone's time is booked — the right piece, the right plan, no surprises. Approved inquiries receive a private booking invitation.
Do you only take large pieces?
No. Large, medium, and small are all welcome — one artist, one standard. Large projects get a design process; small pieces get a fast lane.
I have a reference — or a flash idea.
Bring it. Custom work is the top priority here, and your references and flash ideas are welcome. We build it to the standard, together.
What does the $150 large-project fee cover?
A large custom tattoo starts before your tattoo appointment. If your design is created from scratch, the one-time $150 consultation and custom-design fee covers your consultation and the dedicated time spent outside tattoo sessions developing your idea, drawing the design, and planning its placement and composition. It pays for the creative work required to build your project from scratch — it is separate from the tattoo-session price and is not credited toward tattooing. Session pricing and scheduling are agreed separately before booking is finalized. Choosing an existing available pre-drawn design instead? Then your $150 is a deposit credited toward your tattoo session. Small and medium pieces are separate: a $50 consultation, credited in full toward your tattoo deposit when you book.
What will my tattoo cost?
That depends on size, placement, and detail — which is exactly why the consultation exists. You leave with an exact quote before any work begins.
